Free Street is a femme-led arts and culture organization that centers original performance work by Black, Brown, Latine and Immigrant communities; queer artists; youth artists; and work that is committed to the thriving and well-being of people on the South and West Sides of the city.

We believe in the theater as a space to uplift joy and justice, especially racial, economic, and environmental justice in Chicago. We offer all of our shows for free/pay-what-you-can, we also offer free classes, trainings, and make space available to artists developing new work.

Of course, we know, free theater is not free to make. But, lucky for us, we fundraise in the most joyful way! For 10 years we've hosted Radical Love and what started off as an alternative Valentine's Day celebration has quickly become Free Street's party of the year. It's a way for us to celebrate the community we have, grow in new community and raise funds to make sure the work of Free Street continues!

After all abundance begets abundance. We know we’ve won the lottery with our community so this year’s Radical Love celebration is all about Lotería. Join us to celebrate 10 years of Radical Love! Make your own luck at our event stations & play for your chance to win prizes during Drag Loteria.
